Summary: Still serving a life sentence
Review: This is a very revealing biography of unspeakable human abuse delivered to the prisoners from Thailand's prisons. It is barely tolerable to turn the pages and comprehend that such treatment was provided by other human beings. His words fall on us, reading in the safety of our worlds, out of touch of such unbelieveable nightmares. There is no way we can really understand what Warren went through. I feel it was a huge sacrifice to relive these events so his experience could be told and in the wake of such terror, it deserves recognition and continued efforts to pressure Thailand authorities to alter these practices. One can argue that he took the risks and his luck ran out. After the fact, this is pointless to me, as his punsihment so outweighed the crime. It deserves contemplation as to how other nations press these third world countries to inflict such illogical sentencing, but the politics are dense and convuluted.It is obvious after reading this book that Warren Fellows served a life sentence after all.

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS YOU COULD READ
Review: This book can be read in one day. One thing I liked about it, is that he isn't a professional writer. Yet, he conveyed his thoughts and experiences well. He didn't make excuses for his actions or the consequences. He played the game and got caught. Credit to Fellows for sharing parts of his personal and family life with us as well as his life inside Maha Chai and Bang Kwang Prison. He was before being caught a shrewd drug courier, getting out of some very close calls with airport security and immigration, by impromptu ideas and actions. He kept his cool, was very creative, and he had guts. These were risks with such high consequences that very few would even think about taking them. The physical and mental torture, and the humiliation he experienced and witnessed was beyond human. They are provided in detail. After his release from Bang Kwang and return home to Australia he described the difficulty of adjusting life on the outside, and the tole it would eventually take on his friend he served time with.
